Six Voice of America journalists sued the Trump administration and MAGA broadcaster Kari Lake late Friday for shutting down the media network. The organization is asking a federal court to restore the outlet that for decades has supplied news about the United States around the world.
The lawsuit was filed in the Southern District of New York, and asked a federal judge to restore the services President Donald Trump shut down in an executive order issued earlier this month that dismantled the U.S. Agency for Global Media (USAGM). The agency oversees Voice of America, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, the Office of Cuba Broadcasting and Radio Free Asia.
